HOME FROM INDIA is collage confection from Matthew Rose. A "story" about loss and disconnection, the valiant attempts to gain purchase on truth and the inevitable slippage of all things. Sad, exuberant, the work consists of a portfolio of 24 collage works, riddled with French and English clues that touch upon everything from the freedom of flight of mouches (flies) and the strange pleasures of rabbits, the odd joys of planting cut flowers and lastly, the absurd notions of prizes, dreams, lotteries and bells tolling for us all, whether we hear (and/or) heed them or not.
HOME FROM INDIA is an art work from Matthew Rose.
